The Idiot President.

I’m going to tell you the truth,
and the thing about the truth is that it sticks in your head forever.

This is it – the American
President is an idiot. In fact, he’s a dangerous idiot.

Now I’ll tell you why;

When it comes to fighting the
spreading cancer of radical Islamic terror that is choking the whole of the
Middle East and much of Africa the American President has said he sees himself
as a big town mayor fighting local crime. That’s idiotic!

He sees ISIS, Al-Qaida, Boko
Haram and other groups as rival gangs as in West Side Story, not butchering
terrorists as in East Side Nightmare. The idiot!

A year ago, the American President
called the Islamic State army, that now controls vast swathes of Iraq, Syria,
Libya and Nigeria, a junior varsity team. Some JV team! Some idiot!

When Jews were targeted for death
in a kosher deli he said they were folks randomly shot. The idiot!

When twenty one Coptic Christians
were beheaded on a Libyan beach for no other reasons except they were
Christian, and he called them ‘citizens,’ he’s an idiot.

When he reports the beheading of
an American journalist, and then heads of to play golf, he’s an idiot.

The world sees Iran as a messianic
regime sponsoring regional and global terror attacks and feverishly trying to
get their hands on a nuclear weapon as part of their apocalyptic dream, yet the
American President is ready to cut them some slack and make them a central
strategic player in the region. The idiot!

The American President sends his
Secretary of State around the Arab countries to explain to them what’s in the
nuclear agreement with Iran, but he won’t send him to Israel, the number one
target for an Iranian nuclear attack. That’s infinitely worse than being an
idiot!

The US-led coalition will not
partner with Assad in the fight against ISIS because Assad kills his own
people. But the American President will partner with Iran to hit ISIS, even as
Iran kills its own people. Go figure!

Now, having read this, I’m sure
I’m going to hear that the President is a genius and I’m the idiot. OK, so if
I’m the idiot, at least I’m not a dangerous idiot. But if he’s a genius, he’s a
dangerous genius. Either way, you lose.

Come to think of it, we all lose.
